Barely 48 hours after declaring that he’s quitting Ek Se Badhkar Ek, Abhijeet Bhattacharya has had a change of heart and decided to stay on as judge on the show.

Abhijeet had then objected to the wild card granted to Pakistani contestant Mussarat Abbas mid-way through the competition. Reportedly, he’s vowed to remain with the show but that doesn’t mean that his ideologies have changed overnight. The judge in him will rate Mussarat.

Confirming the news, Tarun Mehra, Business Head, Zee TV, says, ”After lengthy discussions with Abhijeet, we’ve been able to convince him to stay. He will continue as a judge on our show.”
